STARTER CULTURES

Kashar Cheese Culture

Besto Kashar Cheese Cultures are specifically selected to provide the characteristic flavor profile and textural structure that traditional Turkish Kashar should possess. Our cultures rapidly bring the curd to the ideal pH value for the scalding process, while giving the cheese a full body and smooth texture during the ripening stage. Our strains with high heat resistance maintain their activity during scalding, ensuring standardization.

Slicing and Texture:

Thanks to strong proteolytic activity, your cheese will not crumble when sliced and will maintain its smooth and elastic structure for a long time.
